The last ten years in Argentina

 

In Argentina, as of 1989, with the ascent of Menem al to be able, the process newliberal, that had been initiated decades behind, gave a leap of quality. The great bourgeoisie monopolyst, associate narrowly with the capital international financier, was dedicated to finish of to take the remainders of the model of capitalism national that had been built in the half of the century XX.
The businesses of the State the ones that had great importance in the capitalist development Argentine, above all in the second half of the century XX, they were delivered to monopoly capital, in the first place al American, followed by fence by the monopolys European, in individual the Spaniards. The external debt, that in 1983 barely exceeded 53.000 million dollars grew until arriving at more than 140.000 million. The national bourgeoisie, that already was severely affected, almost totally was extinguished. In the meantime, the small rural and urban bourgeoisie, saw to accelerate its proletarización. However, the working class went the most affected one by the process of advance of the imperialism in Argentina. A series of laws and decrees trimmed the rights of the industrious front al capital permitting an extraordinary increase of the exploitation, while the unemployment grew incessantly affecting at more than the 30% of the  no pay. Also the system of the social security deeply was modified. The retirement benefits were reduced and the business was delivered al the monopolyst capital. The education and the health followed the same road. On the one hand the portion profitable was privatizada, while, what remained in the hands of the State and was directed to the popular sectors, deteriorated brutally.
The popular resistance al advance of the capital one monopolista went growing slow but incessantly as of the known rebellion as the Santiagazo, in 1993. The workers of the state businesses faced the process of privatización, the employees of the State fought against the despidos, while the educational and the students, they did it against the deterioration of the popular education. Further on, the thousands of idle workers were organized in the movement "piquetero", first in the provinces more empobrecidas to reach, in the last years, the industrial cord that surrounds to Buenos Aires. Including, the small rural and urban bourgeoisie was incorporated al popular torrent of fights.
The government of the party Peronista headline by Menem, totally no prestige among the masses, was replaced for the Alliance of the Radical party and the social reformists of the Frepaso. De La Rúa, the new president, deepened still more the model one newliberal. It enlarged the payment of the interests of the external debt while grew without pause the capital one and reduced, still more, the salary of the workers in activity and of them retired. The increment of the exploitation of the capital one monopolyst, in the framework of a gigantic crisis of the capitalism one, so much international as localities (in our country the recesión economic exceeded, in February of 2002, the 44 months) condicionaron the growth of the popular fights. To mediados of 2001 habitual demonstrations were done, strikes and the cuts of the routes by the idle. In the legislative elections of October was done evident the popular refusal to all the variant politics, including the reformists. Around the 50% of the population showed its opposition al gigantic process of saqueo of the imperialism and to the parties electoraleros, voting in white, annulling its vote or directly being abstained of voting. The government of the Alliance, that had lost the elections front al peronismo, followed applying the political and economic orders of the Fund Monetario International, worried, in the first place, by the payment of the interests of the external debt. In December, De La Rúa ordered the confiscación of various thousands of millions of dollars, placed in the banks, pertinent, in its greater part, to asalariados, retired and member of the small bourgeoisie. This robbery was the detonante of the popular rebellion of the 19 and 20 of December. Thousands of persons were faced during two days with the represión police, that ocasionó various dead persons and they continued the fight challenging al state of place, to that was ousted al government of the Alliance.
The political process, after the heroic rebellion, is flowing into in a revolutionary situation. The imperialism and the distinct fractions of the great bourgeoisie monopolista Argentina are found in an enormous crisis and they fail to consolidate one more government or less stable. First they tried with the peronista Rodríguez Saa, but their lack of support in the dominant class and a gigantic demonstration, they ousted it. The present president, the also peronista Duhalde, that was vice president during the government of Menem, he has deepened them measured that they inflame to the popular sectors. With a devaluación of the currency of the 100% achieved a brutal salary reduction and an enormous growth of the confiscación, by the banks, of the popular savings. Duhalde, besides, has been proposed to continue applying the instructions that the imperialism give it, privately through the Fund Monetario International. Thus, the budget for the current year foresees to continue paying the interests of the external debt, to reduce the salaries and to trim in education, health and social security.
At the same time, the workers, occupied and idle, and other popular sectors have increased the refusal to the politics of exploitation and misery. Thousands, daily, they continue carrying out demonstrations, strikes and cuts of route claiming that go all, showing a deep hatred to all the politicians of the class ruler (legislators, member of the Executive Power and including the judges of the Most supreme Cut of Justice). The politicians of the system and the majority of the union direction cannot be exhibited in public without they being repudiados by the masses. Besides, in the large cities popular assemblies have appeared organized by neighborhood. In them, thousands of asalariados and sectors of the small urban bourgeoisie begin to debate the possibility of building a new society. However, they should be indicated two large weaknesses in the popular movement that are narrowly related. In the first place, the working class industrialist yet has not been incorporated massive and, because of it, neither he directs the process. In second place, though exceptional conditions for their construction have been created, not yet he exists in Argentina a P.C.M.L. capaz of conducting the workers and the town toward a revolution that crush the State of the imperialism and of the great bourgeoisie monopolista Argentina and comience the construction of the socialism.
